.... monarchy: a statesman whose capacity for conceiving great designs was matched only by his consistent incapacity for carrying them through to a successful conclusion.’ Were Olivares’ policies a realistic way out of Spain’s difficulties or did they aggravate the situation? To understand this I am going to look at both Olivares’ foreign policy and domestic policy. Within foreign policy I propose to see how far Olivares pushed the reputación of the state before domestic crises forced him to seek peace. Among others the best areas to examine would be Olivares’ policies during the Thirty Years War from 1622; the Mantuan War 1628-31 and the great revolts .....

.... that makes it wonderful but also the performances, the direction, the design and the script. Set in France in 1904, the stage is a French bar called the “Lapin Agile”, with the action of the plot involving the characters who come into the bar and their relationship to time as well as each other. The script is an abstract look at the chance meeting of historical figures and the role these meetings will have on the future. Perhaps one of the most attractive aspects of the script is its ability to ask the same questions of the audience that it does from one character to another. For example, the owner of the “Lapin Agile”, Freddy attempts to stump Albert Einste .....

.... troops out. The line which was at the 38th parallel divided the country in about half. The Soviet forces were responsible for the north and the US for the south part of Korea. Later, this partition was made permanent. In 1947, the UN declared for elections to be held in all of Korea to decide one government for the country. However, North Korea refused to take part in the elections and didn't allow it. So on May 10, 1948, South Korea voted for a national assembly which set up the Republic of Korea. On September 9, North Korea set up the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. North and South Korea claimed the whole country and their troops fought sever .....

.... learn respect for God, maintain social class and to improve material prosperity. This was done thru grammar schools, dame schools and reading and writing schools. The main objectives were not designed for free thinking or self improvement, but rather conformity. Conformity to understand and obey God's word and the laws. However, the new education system was trying to plant it's roots in soil fertilized with nationalism and patriotism. With this new sense of freedom there was a great love and respect for America, but how to properly bury these roots was a question of great debate. The major cause of debate was how to organize a balance between freedom and .....

.... at its main components. Firstly, we can examine the act of popular sovereignty and the revolution of 1789, a major turning point in French history. We can define revolution as ‘the establishment of a new social order.’ At this point, France becomes a constitutional monarchy for the first time. The First Revolution of 1789 was the coming together, essentially, of various social classes. The Revolution commenced largely for the reason that the nobles and the aristocrats were continuously outvoting the 3eme Etat, which in turn caused much friction between the two groups. Therefore the 3eme Etat proposed to the King that the nobles be placed in their es .....

.... the rejection he suffered from his mother for the rest of his life. Vincent must have loved his mother, and so demonstrated this by going along with her dreams for him of becoming a young art dealer, contrary to his life's ambition of serving his fellow men as a preacher. At age sixteen, Vincent was given a job by his Uncle Vincent at a prosperous art gallery named Goupil's. Young Vincent's main regret in leaving the parsonage was that he would miss the company of his beloved brother, Theo. At age twenty, Vincent fell in love with the big city of London. He moved to London where he continued his career as an art dealer at Goupil's London branch. Coincide .....

.... the ultimate designer of the universe. The natural hypothesis that follows is that God created the universe, including the human race, for a purpose or to achieve an end, and thus the universe and all life moves toward that end constantly and in the best manner possible. Later philosophers who studied Aquinas’ fifth way realized that this theorem is plagued with a problem, the problem of evil. In David Hume’s Design, through the art of conversation and Socratic debate, the two main characters in his essay set forth and decipher the problems of evil and how it may disprove Aquinas’ fifth way among countless other theories of creation by a omnipotent, omniscien .....

.... that weighed two pounds. "This weapon accounted for 40% of all handguns bought by the Union Ordinance Department" (Weapons of the Civil War 2). The Navy model was very similar to the Army. It had a round barrel instead of an octagonal barrel and held .36 caliber cartridges. "38,000 were produced during The Civil War and 15,000 of those were produced within the Confederacy" (Weapons of the Civil War 2). The most famous foreign pistol of the war was The Le Mat, produced by Dr. Le Mat in France. It was unique in that it had two barrels, like a small shotgun. The upper barrel shot .40 caliber rounds while the lower barrel shot .63 caliber rounds. Starr .....
